Different languages/technologies, different purposes

[cppuser]

Hi all,
I understand that this is not the best place to ask this question,
but is there some list or article or book, which can say what languages/technologies are preferable to do what tasks, programs, etc.

For example C++ is preferable than Java for writing something. :)

It's very hard to choose the write technology/es for your projects.

Is there a spring of knowledge on this subject ? A spring that can help the young project leaders to choose the exact technologies they want. :)

Thank you

You need to be more specific, anyway if you are in doubt when you have to choose between some technologies to perform a task, Google may be a good help to find articles which compares them

I see, I was just wondering if there is such a manual or book of type "Technology - Purpose".

Business concerns trump technical considerations.

However, given the choice, some things work better in certain cases -- and some things just won't work in certain cases. (For example, I wouldn't use Python or VB to write device drivers. That's fairly moot, since device drivers are typically written in something like C -- and your employer would expect you to use C to do it.)

Hm, ok. There are so many technologies that I'm getting confused somethimes.

Welcome to the club.


There was a time when one person could know everything there was to know about computing... but that was many, many moons ago.

Heh, indeed. :)

Is there something specific you're looking to accomplish at the moment?

[cppuser]

No, thank you very much. :)
I was just curious.
